Dream job alert! A company in Ireland is looking for a 'Professional Beer Taster'

Ever find yourself counting down the clock at work before an evening on the beer? Well, why not combine both?

Dublin's The Beer Club is offering one very lucky person the opportunity to become a professional craft beer taster.

According its listing, the very-part-time job would be perfect for "a passionate beer lover who can provide honest and objective feedback on different beer styles".

Other necessary qualifications include "a passion for beer and taste buds that match, a firm grasp of the English language and the terminology and vocabulary of beer or even the enthusiasm to learn."

The Beer Club also released the job spec for the role:

A strong team player, who will be able to build relationships and work collaboratively with a team of other tasters and experts.

Provide consistent, informed results and feedback.
